Can somebody tell me what fish I have here?  the yellow tang is obvious but the other?  And this one? I bought a tank with live rock, lots of majano and aptasia and some mushrooms and some awesome fish. Great equipment, beautiful fish but I have only had corals and a couple small fish before now

Purple tang and a Yellow eye tang or Palani tang. Just a guess.

In the first picture I can't tell what the first one is and the second one is a Yellow Tang, in the second picture is a Purple Tang. I would need a better picture of the first fish to have a better chance of an ID. It looks like a bristletooth tang such as a Tomini.

Is there anything I need to be aware of when moving this tank with the fish that would be out of the ordinary? I also have a red fairy wrasse and a hippo in the mix and another unidentified fish in the spilloff. The corals are a no brainer to me, but the fish are another story

Careful moving the surgeonfish due to the sharp "scalpel" fin at the base of the tail. They should all go in the tank the same day. That's all I can think of.

Its definitely not Tomini...Tomini is grey with orange fins, white tail. Really hard to tell but it's probably in the same family.

It does look like the same family and I agree it is not a Tomini or a Yellow-eye (Kole)

Isn't that a backwards Tomini? All of them I have seen, including mine, have orange fins with the back one being white.
I think your's is a Inimot Tang.

I'm guessing the unidentified Tang is a Two Spot Bristletooth Tang (Ctenochaetus binotatus. I've been looking at them since I can't seem to find a Chevron tang for sale.

Ah, I didn't think of that. It does look like a juvenile Atlantic Blue Tang. Cool fish!

That picture shows it pretty well.
What do you think Robert. Is that your fish?
